Default How much would a turbo kit cost to install?

A drag kit on a 1994 h22 prelude....how much do you think?

What about getting it tuned as well?

whoever should just charge you the full day 8 hours, especially for Prelude, its harder to work on than a teg - no room. dont forget to do the clutch

If you have a brand new kit and a garage, I might do it for you.

self install, just have some good tools and a friend to help you..

nothing more satisfying and informative than doing it yourself.

I would like to do it myself...im juss scared of messing something up. i would really need a lot of help. The kit is not brand new...It is used. Here is what is in the kit:
T3/T4 Turbonetics
Turbo Type R GReddy Blow Off Valve
Delta Wastegate
Drag Manifold For H22
Piping and Intercooler (Front Mount)
Bosch Fuel Pump
4 RC 440 CC/MIN Injectors
APEX AFC Fuel Controller
NOS Feul pressure regulator
APEX AVCR Boost Controller
Akimoto Air

How does this set up sound? Its going on a 1994 prelude Vtec.
thanks

don't rush it...take a few weeks to research an install (if you do decide to do it yourself)...some people are more mechanically inclined than others, so read some books and post and gauge yourself on how much you understand before you start... my two yen...

Yeah but worse comes to worse, I don't know how many people have completed setups when self installing from coming on here and begging for help in their times of need
